{Lianna}
The sun cast its warm glow over the city of Garriden as Lianna walked alongside Enverna and Zura, the trio making their way toward the grandiose palace that loomed in the distance.
Despite the serene beauty of their rural surroundings, an undercurrent of tension lingered in the air, anticipation mingling with apprehension as they neared their destination.
"You know, I'm still pretty surprised that Caroline allowed me to come. Maybe she's finally warming up to me," Lianna said with a slightly sarcastic tinge to her words.
Enverna scoffed.
"I am so over that woman," she sighed, shaking her head. "How she made me feel any admiration for her at all is beyond me."
Lianna glanced at Enverna, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips as she considered that statement.
[Oh? So she admits it?]
